If Mo Salah departs and moves to Saudi Arabia, it is rumored that LIVERPOOL will want Real Madrid star Rodrygo the following season. The 22-year-old winger is being watched by the Red Devils and might become Carlo Ancelotti’s target.
In the last days of the summer transfer window, Al-Ittihad courted Salah for a staggering £170 million; however, the Red Devils swiftly turned down the offer. Liverpool doesn’t have time to find a replacement, which is one of the reasons they don’t want to sell the Egyptian star.
Salah’s return to the Red Devils in the new year is anticipated if he agrees to relocate to Saudi Arabia. Fichajes claims that Jurgen Klopp should prepare for his exit as he searches for Salah’s replacement, and it appears he has discovered someone suitable.
Brazilian playmaker Rodrygo, who will be entering the last year of his Real Madrid contract next year, is a player that Klopp is really interested in purchasing. The drawback is that, according to Todo Fichajes, Ancelotti’s squad would want a high price and will consider proposals above £86.5 million.
This occurs at a time when Los Blancos are holding out for the return of their star winger Vinicius Junior and are anticipating the arrival of Kylian Mbappé next season. Rodrygo joined Brazilian powerhouse Santos at the Bernabeu in 2019 for a reported £40 million.
Since then, he has developed into an essential member of the Madrid squad, helping the team win La Liga in his debut season and scored a spectacular goal in the first minute of play in his debut game.
During his four years at the club, the superstar made 171 appearances, scored 38 goals, and won two La Liga crowns, one Champions League, and one Copa del Rey. However, sources state that he has had a “inconsistent” start to current La Liga season, and Ancelotti is likely to favor Brahim Diaz over him. The Brazilian that the Red Devils have had their eye on during his time at Santos may now have their chance to sign him.
